There may come a time when a student says something awful towards you to hurt you. How you react will make all the difference. An interviewer wants to see your plan of attack and how things will look with the student in the future.

Answer Example
"No teacher wants to hear those words coming out of the mouth of a student. But, if it happens, I need to keep my cool. I would speak to the student individually. If the problem continued to persist, I would bring another teacher into the fold. The administration will be communicated to in the situation either way."

"This is so hard for me as a first time teacher. However, I need to be positive and know my worth. No student can bring me too up and no student can bring me too down."
Shane's Feedback
Also, know that a student should never say this to you. If this happens, you can surely bring in another teacher into the fold and some kind of reprimand is in order.
